IZZY’S BIRTHDAY

2 Tough and Crazy people get together and consider life through the Oracle of the Animated Gif. They contemplate A BIRTHDAY spent at home in the rain. Wild and cold and near flooding with trenches to be dug and not a pair of gumboots between them. They ache in their waters for the gifts that they would like to be able to give.The vortexual stocking fillers. Hold hands. Dive into deeper and far darker waters. Somewhere below the surface is the essence of a BIRTHDAY at home in the rain.

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and
height my soul can reach.

Happy Birthday, my Darling

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

====

Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be.

Happy Birthday, my Darling

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

Chronologically gifted!

59! I demand a recount.

Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.” Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Middle age is when you’ve met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.” Ogden Nash
